Betch, you've walked on to Oregon for not only football, but for baseball as well.
00:15
And I just got to read y'all his stats real quick, y'all, because this is crazy.
00:19
You came in Oregon, like I said, walked on for both football and baseball, and we still
00:23
got a lot of stuff to get done, but just off of the regular season, in that time, you were
00:27
13th round draft pick for the Houston Astros, second team, Big Ten, all-conference selection.
00:32
And then just, what was that, Monday, you just won the 2024 Brandon Burlesworth Trophy.
00:38
What has that journey been like for you personally?
00:40
What would you tell other walk-ons who have big aspirations of like, okay, if Bryce could
00:45
do it, I could do it?
00:46
And honestly, what would you tell your younger self, because I don't know what younger Bryce
00:51
Betch was thinking growing up, but I'm pretty sure this is more than one could imagine.
00:56
So what's that journey been like for you?
00:58
Yeah, I mean, this past year has been crazy, to say the least.
01:03
You know, if I would have told younger Bryce Betch, right, I've done all that in a year,
01:06
I probably would have thought he was crazy.
01:08
Obviously, I wanted to play for the Ducks, do sports, was obviously a little far-fetched
01:12
when I was younger, but obviously, I'm doing it now.
01:16
You know, it's just been a lot of hard work, like advice to walk-ons and my younger self
01:20
is just never give up.
01:22
Like, the grass is not always greener on the other side, there's going to be a lot more
01:25
days as a walk-on that are tougher, and stuff's not going your way, and it's more frustrating
01:30
than it would be, than those good days, obviously.
01:34
So I mean, obviously, I'm getting rewarded this past year with a lot of recognition,
01:39
which is pretty cool, but it was definitely like three or four years of knowing-knowing
01:43
who I was, a lot of work in the dark, so it's definitely cool to see it pay off, but like
01:48
I said, you know, we're just living in the moment, we got a Rose Bowl to win, so just
01:52
trying to enjoy it with the boys, and make this ride a good one.
